Organic chemistry has a long tradition of relating the properties of a substance to its molecular structure and more than anything else, the relationship between how a substance behaves and the way its atoms are connected is what chemistry is all about. Those who teach organic chemistry point out that, unlike the course in general chemistry where topic often appear unrelated, each new topic in organic chemistry builds or what has come before. Experience has shown that students learn organic chemistry best when it is presented in a functional group format. Such an approach divides the material into closely related units of manageble size. Student retain their knowledge best when they understand how organic reaction occur. The number of fundamental reaction mechanisms is far fewer tah the number of fucntional group families and provides the conceptual framework that ties together the transformations that form the body of the course. Rather than being a mass of unconnected facts, organic chemistry is a fabric in which facts and principles support one another. As in the first edition of this text reaction mechanisms are sterssed, but within a functional group framework. The mechanistic discussion in the first edition was made more accessible to the student by presenting the individual steps of a reaction as a series of equations with commentary in a stand-alone figure. The number of reaction mechanisms presented in this way has been increased in the second edition.
